A murder is committed, behind closed doors, in bizarre circumstances. Three amateur detectives take the case: Lord Simon Plimsoll, Monsieur Amer Picon, and Monsignor Smith (in whom discerning readers will note likeness to some familiar literary figures). Each arrives at his own brilliant solution, startling in its originality, ironclad in its logic. Meanwhile Sergean Beef sits contemptuously in the background. "But, " says Sergeant Beef, "I know who done it!"
Condition grading: Good Minus. Small tear and line marks to right edge of front cover (tear carries through to first 10 pages). Light wear to edges of rear cover. Wear to spine ends and edges. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
